That white stuff is really pretty, as long as you can stay home and sit by the fire. As we all dig out, get out of the airport and get back to normal on the East Coast, we can always count on our friends from Florida and Cali to remind us that it’s always sunny and warm somewhere! That was one big storm.
Speaking of which, Def Jam’s Sackheim, Rothschild & Farag are storming the Top 10 right now, as Alessia Cara’s “Here” takes over the #1 spot on the chart and Justin Bieber moves up to #4 with this week’s Greatest Gainer, “Love Yourself” (RBMG).
Capitol’s Rainey, Youngblood & Siciliano have Tori Kelly’s “Hollow” Top 25, as they pull in new airplay from WXKL and KHKS this week. Troye Sivan’s “Youth” is off to a huge start already; with almost 100 adds in one week after impact, the track has charted and pulled in major adds from Z100, KYLD, WIOQ and KDWB. Next up is Duke Dumont’s “Ocean Drive.”
RCA’s Riccitelli, JR, Daddio & Cooper are off to a terrific start with G-Eazy f/Bebe Rexha’s “Me Myself & I,” which just had another Most Added week. KHKS, WQMP, KZHT and WKQI all came on board, as the track jumped up inside the Top 30. R. City f/Chloe Angelides’ “Make Up” (Kemosabe) is now on 80+ stations and just moved up to #33.

Global’s Team Palmese put Nathan Sykes f/Ariana Grande’s “Over and Over Again” in the Most Added column a week ahead of impact, pulling WKSC, KHTS and WZPL. Already on the board for this week are WFLZ, KMXV and WKCI. “Nathan Sykes and Ariana Grande deliver the new year’s first power ballad smash with ‘Over and Over Again.’ It’s already generating solid audience reaction and requests,” shared Phil Guerini, Disney Channels VP Music Strategy and Radio Disney Networks GM.
Artbeatz’s Buch, Halpern & Weil continue to grow Daya’s “Hide Away,” which moved up another notch and into the Top 10. The track is Shazaming, selling and posting great callout.
Warner Bros.’ Gray, Dyer, Reich & Shih have Jason Derulo’s “Get Ugly” (Beluga Heights) poised to go Top 20, and with big believers like SiriusXM Hits 1, Venus and KHFI, it shouldn’t be long before it makes the jump. Lukas Graham’s “7 Years” is bubbling just under and looking to chart with some big early supporters like KZON, WWMX, WBLI and WKSC. Look for more Most Added honors this week.
Epic’s Team Glassman is heading toward the Top 25 with 100+ stations already in on Travis Scott’s “Antidote” (Grand Hustle). Audiodamn!’s “Radar” has been in the Most Added column for two weeks in a row and is looking to chart, as the track starts to Shazam in all airplay markets. A week before the official add date, Zara Larsson f/MNEK’s “Never Forget You” already has a massive list of majors on board. There’s KAMP, WPOW, WFLC and KEGY just to name a few. With new music on the way from Meghan Trainor and Fifth Harmony, things are locked and loaded.
Hollywood’s Finck, Smith and Ennis are out and about with Shawn Hook’s “Sound of Your Heart,” which charted this week. With over 100 stations already on board, this one’s just getting started. Impacting this week is Shakira’s “Try Everything,” which should end up in the Most Added column.
Republic’s CW, Spangler & Russell debuted Mike Posner’s “I Took a Pill in Ibiza” (Island) on their impact week with 30+ early majors on board. They’re off to the races with that track. The Weeknd’s “In the Night” (XO) is now Top 5 and climbing. Meanwhile, Shawn Mendes & Camilla Cabello’s “I Know What You Did Last Summer” (Island) is ready to move Top 10. It’s #2 at SNOL and has Top 5 RateTheMusic callout.

Taylor Swift’s “Out of the Woods” (Big Machine), which was the week’s #4 Greatest Gainer, is now #16, as she continues toward the top of the chart again.
Columbia’s Leipsner, Borris & Vaughan have Adele’s “When We Were Young” (XL) sitting just outside the Top 10. Also considering the #1 RateTheMusic callout, it shouldn’t be long before it makes that climb. The Chainsmokers f/Rozes’ “Roses” (Disruptor) edges closer to Top 5 this week, as WBMP, KAMP, WXKS and KDND all bump it up in rotation. Rachel Platten’s new anthem, “Stand by You,” is now Top 30 with new commitments from Q100, WPOI, WRNW and WQEN.
MUSIC WE LOVE: Ruth B’s “Lost Boy” (Columbia), Alessia Cara’s “Wild Things” (Def Jam).
